UNSPSC 85695540: Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PPM34Z

UNSPSC 85695540, Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it pursue medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefit management services unrelated to that procedure. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out administration for employees; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty care for detained youth; and Collier County pursued pharmacy benefit management. None of these opportunities involve removal of internal fixation devices or carpal surgery. The tagging mismatch suggests this code is either incorrectly applied by the issuing bodies or represents a downstream coding error in the data pipeline.

State and local procurement activity under this code is not currently meaningful for business development purposes. If considering pursuit, verify the actual scope of work against the code assignment before investing pre-bid resources, as the present record does not support a coherent commodity family.
